Another cadaver found 2 days after NPA clash in Davao de Oro
A New People's Army (NPA) rebel was killed during a 15-minute clash with government troops in Pantukan, Davao de Oro.
The encounter occurred after troops responded to civilian reports of NPA members asking for food and terrorizing residents in Sitio Ibuan, Barangay Tagdangwa.
The rebels reportedly attacked the military and police personnel who arrived in the area, violating the declared ceasefire.
Following the clash, another cadaver believed to be a communist guerilla, identified as medic Benjamin Olvis, was found two days later near the encounter site.
Olvis was confirmed to be one of the wounded who tried to escape after the firefight and was given a decent burial.
Government troops recovered high-powered firearms, ammunition, and subversive documents from the scene.
Military officials stated that the NPA members violated the declared ceasefire, and the commander urged remaining NPA fighters to surrender.
